EA's Bad Company 2 has some catching up to do, but we already knew that. Especially with Modern Warfare 2, arguably the world's most popular video game (sorry Fuzion Frenzy), enlisting such a wildy large amount of virtual soldiers for its constant ongoing online war.
But, there it is: 25 million unique players, as revealed in a tweet from Infinity Ward's community guy-at-large, Robert "fourzerotwo" Bowling. We've contacted Infinity Ward for specific platform numbers, but in the meantime, Bowling offers a bit more to chew on:
He confirms the majority of players are taking the fight to Xbox Live, but he says the PS3 comes in at "a close" second. That puts the PC space in third, though it's still enlisted "millions," according to Bowling. But, what about that boycott? Oh, right.
Now, it should be noted that Modern Warfare 2's reported 25 million players aren't all actively playing at the moment. We can only assume that several have went AWOL for Microsoft's Halo ODST,the PS3's MAG, and the recently released Battlefield Bad Company 2.
